They can't send warships from the Black Sea to the Carribbean. No warships are allowed passage through the Bosphorus Strait.

Can someone please create an organization called "Pride Boys" and make them so popular that searching for "proud boys" on google will turn up images of rainbow flags and gay men?

Traffic enforcement cameras are good for all road-users, including car drivers! We need more of them, tbh. And I say that as a petrol-head.

enough onboard storage not to require any amount of expansion

This is just wrong, my man! 128GB are NOT enough to not need expansion! And sure, I can pay the manufacturer 50$ for an extra 128 gig, but for the same money I can buy a 500GB SD card online! And many phones don't even have the option for this much storage. Why not offer more storage AND an SD card slot?

All new phones have audio connections built into the USB-C port

Yes they have, but now I can't use my headphones without a shitty adapter anymore. An adapter that can easily get lost! What is the advantage of that?

I can tell you: it's greed! We can sell you more storage at a premium. Your device storage ain't enough? We offer cloud based storage for free! Oh, your free x amount of gigabytes is full? We sell you more storage as a subscription! Well, you don't need storage anyways, because everyone streams their stuff today, don't they? (Also subscription models)

Your phone doesn't have a 3.5mm jack anymore and you can't use your headphones anymore? Buy our adapters for very little money (but that's basically 5$ in extra profit per sold phone). Or, you know, bluetooth headphones! They are more convenient anyways, because they are wireless. Oh, you just need to charge them every few hours and the batteries in them are dead after ~2 years, that means we can sell you another pair for 150$! And god forbid you lose one of the tiny suckers, that's gone be 150$ to replace them.

FUCK THAT!!1!

Also many pedestrianized streets allow for deliveries with larger vehicles! These just have to drive more carefully and slower for the last couple hundred meters. Usually just a city block or two.

Emojis generally replace the period but come after a question mark or exclamation point.

Can I borrow your pen? 😊

If this comes on top of the current ad-load then it is enshitification. If it replaces mid- or pre-roll ads it might make youtube somewhat usable again, even without adblocking.

The british didn't quite overcome the old ways of measuring. They still use miles, pints, stone, and so on.

Companies just need to print the metric amount on the box as well.

This is what they use. Still a horrible way to measure things.
